That's right, Leia herself could also sense that these people seemed particularly cold towards her, but she couldn't tell why.

She felt uncomfortable being treated differently, but she didn't know how to tell Li Shu about it.

As long as he opened his mouth, Li Shu would say with an innocent look that he didn't have such thoughts.

Qiao Lusi next to him would also say sarcastically that his initial treatment was worse than his current treatment.

Even Wei Yisen would speak up for them.

Aren’t these two people his brothers? Why are they still speaking in Li Shu’s favor?

This made Leah so angry that she didn't recover until she was taken away from the banquet hall by Jolus.

After entering the Garden Hotel, Qiao Lusi raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister, won't you invite me in to sit for a while?"

There was a hint of resistance on Leah's face, but after looking at Qiao Lu and then at Wei Yisen, her expression was obviously reluctant.

"It's getting late. I've been busy all day and now I just want to have a good rest."

Qiao Lu Si shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I was going to talk about why Li Shu and the others were against you. Since you want to rest now, let's talk about it later."

After hearing this, Leah's expression changed. She stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Lu who was about to leave.

"Wait, what did you want to say?"

Qiao Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, without repeating what he said, just looking at her straight.

Leia struggled with her conscience for a while before pointing to the living room in the suite and saying, "Please sit down."

Qiao Lu Si sneered: "Sister, you really don't know how to appreciate the blessings you have. When Wei Yisen and I first started, we didn't have such good conditions."

Leah looked around and curled her lips. "It's just a cage tool. You guys are even competing over this?"

She bit her lower lip, looking a little uneasy: "Tell me, what is the reason?"

Qiao Lusi leaned on the sofa and looked at her with a smile: "As for the reason, didn't Lord Kamos remind you at the beginning?"

Leah thought of Kamos, and her expression froze at first, a hint of fear showing on her face. Then, with a look of confusion, she asked doubtfully, "Brooch?"

Qiao Lusi's smile froze, and he looked at Leah as if she were a fool: "How did you survive in the royal family for so many years?"

"Depending on the protection your mother left you?"

He looked genuinely confused, and Leah genuinely blushed.

"Sister is so stupid, it's because of the marriage."

Leia was stunned for a moment, then looked a little confused and annoyed, as if she was thinking about how to solve this problem.

"This is not a choice I want to make. I'm not an adult yet, and I don't want to get married now."

"Besides, if I get married, I'll probably just become a vase, and that's not what I'm after."

Qiao Lusi, who was standing next to him, propped up his chin and said, "That's what you think, but you also have to look at the current situation of the top management of Azure Star."

"I believe you've analyzed it yourself. On the entire Azure Star, the only person you can try to please is Su Peiyao."

"But I heard that Su Peiyao doesn't seem to like women. She only likes star coins."

"Besides, Su Peiyao is in charge of the Star Defense Department. Even if you really have feelings for her, Li Shu might stop you."

"After all, he can't possibly trust you enough to let you marry the Minister of Star Defense, and it's even more impossible for him to transfer Su Peiyao out of the Star Defense Department just for you."

Leah's face looked unhappy: "You don't need to say so much, I'm not interested in Su Peiyao."

"No, at my age now, I have absolutely no interest in anyone, okay?"

Qiao Lu Si tutted his words lightly: "But you came here with the purpose of marriage."

"Who would believe you if you said that? Li Shu might believe it, but Father wouldn't."

"Not only will he not believe it, he will also fan the flames and use you to control Azure Star."

"You probably also saw the situation on Azure Star today, right?"

"Compared to the overdeveloped, densely populated, and resource-scarce Imperial Star, the situation here is simply like heaven."

Leia opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out for a long time.

Because she had no way to refute what Qiao Lu said.

After a moment, she muttered softly, "But my father is too arrogant and doesn't care about the situation on Azure Star at all."

"He had no idea how developed this place was and even thought it was a barren land."

Not to mention the emperor, even Leia herself held this idea before coming to the Blue Star, thinking that the Blue Star was a barren land.

The result gave her quite a shock.

Qiao Lusi beside him shook his head: "We are not talking about this now, but your position."

"Li Shu's arrangement for you is already the most reasonable."

"Teach them for a few years first. Once you're familiar with them and trust them, we'll see which department is more suitable for you."

"During this period, we need to separate you from the higher-ups to prevent any messy messages from spreading."

"Although Li Shu is now almost the only one who has the final say on Azure Star, no one can guarantee that our father, with his extreme and brainless personality, will not make up something out of nothing."

In the end, he just wanted to tell Princess Leia that Li Shu's approach was quite reasonable.

Princess Leia couldn't help but speak after a long while: "I haven't thought about it so much, nor have I thought about marrying anyone."

"If they can trust you, why can't I?"

Qiao Lu and Wei Yisen looked at Leah in some confusion, as if questioning how she could say such a thing.

After a long while, his eyes showed a hint of weariness and annoyance that was barely perceptible. "Is that what you think?"

He stood up while speaking, his expression was not as gentle as before, and seemed to be tinged with a bit of indifference.

"This trip today was done privately by me and does not fall within the scope of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' work."

"Starting tomorrow, I will treat you with a normal diplomatic attitude."

After he finished speaking, the formal smile on his face made Leah feel a little cold for no reason.

Then Qiao Lu led Wei Yisen and turned away.

Before leaving, Wei Yisen turned around and looked at Leah, with a slightly sarcastic smile on the corner of his lips.

After leaving the Garden Hotel, Wei Yisen spoke: "Brother, there is no need to worry so much. It's not worth it."

The smile on Qiao Lu's face faded, and he sneered: "Li Shu is soft-hearted. It would be bad if I really didn't care about our past affection at all."

"It would be fine if Leah couldn't fit in, but if she does get a chance to fit in, I'm afraid Li Shu will still think about how I disregarded our brotherly relationship today."
